<< INTRODUCTION >> Sittin' in the morning sun I'll be sittin' when the evening comes Watchin' the ships roll in Then I watchin' roll away again Sittin' on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll away Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time I left my home in Georgia Headed for the Frisco Bay I had nothin' to live for Looked like nothing's gonna come my way Sittin' on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll away Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time I left my home in Georgia Headed for the Frisco Bay I had nothin' to live for Nothing's gonna come my way Sittin' on the dock of the bay Oh the tide roll away Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time Looks like nothin's gonna change Everythin' still remains the same I can't do what ten people tell me to do So I guess I'll remain the same << INTERLUDE >> Sittin' here restin' my bones This loneliness won't leave me alone Two thousand miles I roamed Just to make this dock my home Sittin' on the dock of the bay Watchin' the tide roll away Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time << Ends in harmonic whistling >>
